Roger Staubach was two classes ahead of Calvin Huey at the Naval Academy. However, the sophomore made such an impression on the senior that Staubach made mention of Huey in his autobiography titled “Staubach: First Down, Lifetime to Go.”
“Calvin Huey was just the kind of guy you liked. He had a great personality, worked hard in football and was an intelligent guy,” Staubach wrote.
Staubach remains the most renowned player in Navy football history, the 1963 Heisman Trophy winner and unanimous first team All-American. After serving in Viet Nam, “Roger the Dodger” would enjoy a remarkable 11-year career in the National Football League, leading the Dallas Cowboys to a pair of Super Bowl championships.
